Subject: [patch 2/5] macintosh: Remove BKL from nvram driver
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:28:38 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091015202758.441681409@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20091015202722.372890083@linutronix.de

Drop the bkl from nvram_llseek() as it obviously protects nothing. The
file offset is safe in essence.

The ioctl can be converted to unlocked_ioctl because it just calls
pmac_get_partition() which reads a value from an array which was
initialized at early boot time. No need for serialization.
